* Package name : ziglang Version : 0.8.1 Upstream Author : Andrew Kelley and...@ziglang.org * URL : https://ziglang.org * License : MIT Programming Lang: Zig Description : General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software Zig is quickly become a new hot language, and there is growing demand for it to be available in mainline repositories. There is a ticket on the Zig repo: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/7340 which requests for mainline packages to be available, and the upstream maintainer replied that it is out of scope of their repository. I would like to volunteer to package this and maintain it so it is available easily. Others are making similar efforts in other distributions such as Fedora. I also have a package which pulls the release and packs it using checkinstall at https://github.com/compscidr/zig-deb which is currently hosted from a 3rd party gemfury repository. For now I am happy to maintain myself, but would more than welcome anyone who would like to form a pkg-zig team (unless people feel there is a more appropriate team this could fit into. Co-maintainers are also welcome. I do need a sponsor, this is my first time participating.
